Hi Scott
To run Vista comfortably you need to allocate at least 2gb of ram to
the VMWare image. You'll need an extra 2 gb for running Vista, but
not for XP. You can safely allocate 1gb to your xp machine, or even
512mb, and have nice performance. Vista is a resource hog, that's
true no matter how you run it. Supposedly this won't be true for
Windows 7, I'll find out when Microsoft releases the beta to the
public, which should be any time now :).

Hello everyone,
I have the mac book pro 15 with 2gb of memory. I find that the
proformance to be great. That is untill I try to run Vista in vm
fusion. The system works just a little laggy. I wonder if I added
another 2gb of memory, if this would clear this up. I am waiting
for my xp pro cd to install that to see if I can use that without
the lag.

interesting, I use windows through bootcamp on a similar system
and it slows to a crawl. Large sites in safari are almost
unmanageable and I could site other instances where the processor
overtaxes. On my macbookpro core2 duo on the other hand, I have
found little to nothing that even slows it down but I don't run
windows on it.
I do love my macbook though so small, light and fast.

Good evening Alex,
I've been using a 1.2ghz Core Duo (2mb L2 cache) on a 533mhz bus
for a year and a half, the 2.0ghz Core 2 Duo on a 1066mhz bus will
be a nice change.
Other than virtualization there is nothing that I do that comes
close to taking advantage of my current processor, let alone the
new one.
Thanks,
Everett

Hey,
I decided to order the MacBook Aluminum last night 2.0ghz, 4gb,
160gb.
It will be interesting to see the difference in keyboard from
the old MacBook to the new.

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a
thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot
possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible
to get at or repair.
